GPS System

Post by caretaker »

I may be almost thinking about possibly buying a GPS system. Now my problem. I have only used one a time or two. They belonged to other people and I did not touch them. I just followed the yellow brick road. Now do I want a vehicle model or a hand held model? Will a hand held model work in a vehicle? will a hand held work in a boat. Can I mark location on a lake in a hand held? Main question is which one am I lesss like to toss?

If your primary need is for driving directions, then I would get one for a vehicle. If you have a smartphone, you can use it for a gps using google maps or other maps. If you use your phone, it will use data.

Hooked up with Mike243 and we went and used my Bass Pro gift cards and got me onna them " etrex 10 " gps gizmos from Garmin. Now I gotta do is larn how to use this thing that`s smarter than me. The only draw back I can see wiff this daym thing is I could toss it like a baseball. As stated by sdw I can use my phone for driving instructions. I have unlimited data and have listened to that swwet lil thing get me lost a few times before. I wanted something I could make markers and trails with. Something I could take off road and get back to a place in the dark that I marked on the gps system in dayligt. Plus I am gonna fix up the old boat an do a lil fishing.
